IMAGE DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE DATA PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18465989 titled 'IMAGE DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE DATA PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND IMAGING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image data processing device that processes image data captured by an imaging device with an optical system that separates and polarizes light of different wavelengths. The device corrects abnormal pixels in the image data and generates images of the separated wavelengths.

  • The device processes image data captured by an imaging device with a specialized optical system.
  • The optical system separates incident light into different wavelengths and polarizes the light.
  • The polarized light is emitted in a specific direction.
  • The imaging element of the device includes pixel sets with different types of polarizers.
  • The device acquires image data and detects abnormal pixels with values outside a predetermined range.
  • When an abnormal pixel is detected, the device corrects its value based on the values of surrounding pixels.
  • The device then generates images of the separated wavelengths from the corrected image data.

Potential Applications

  • Medical imaging: The device could be used in medical imaging equipment to enhance image quality and accuracy.
  • Remote sensing: It could be applied in satellite imaging systems to improve the quality of captured images.
  • Industrial inspection: The device could be used in quality control processes to detect and correct abnormal pixels in captured images.

Problems Solved

  • Abnormal pixels: The device addresses the issue of abnormal pixels in captured images by detecting and correcting them.
  • Image quality: By correcting abnormal pixels, the device improves the overall quality and accuracy of the generated images.

Benefits

  • Enhanced image quality: The device improves the quality of images by correcting abnormal pixels.
  • Increased accuracy: By detecting and correcting abnormal pixels, the device increases the accuracy of the generated images.
  • Versatile applications: The device can be used in various fields such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and industrial inspection.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image data processing device processes image data captured by an imaging device that includes an optical system which spectrally separates incident light and polarizes light with the spectrally separated wavelengths, and emits the polarized light in a specific direction and an imaging element including a plurality of pixel sets each of which includes different types of polarizers. The image data processing device performs processes of: acquiring the image data; detecting a pixel whose pixel value is out of a predetermined range as an abnormal pixel from the acquired image data; correcting a pixel value of the abnormal pixel on the basis of pixel values of peripheral pixels in a case in which the abnormal pixel is detected; and generating images of the spectrally separated wavelengths from the image data in which the pixel value of the abnormal pixel has been corrected when the abnormal pixel is detected.
